I didn't realise your English abilities were so limited that you consider 1. "we are all" and 2. "Obama is" to be equivalent statements. Read the Newsweek article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/183663[^] and you will see that, as the ordinary English language interpretation of the title would suggest, the "socialist" description is applied much more broadly than to Obama.

Second "lame duck" term notwithstanding :) The USA Presidential System, with the exception of successful impeachment, is more stable than a system of parliamentary "confrontational style" democracy as practiced in many European countries. UK for example, if the government fails in a "motion of confidence" or "budget debate" then the Prime Minister must tender his/her resignation and a General Election must take place irrespective how far into the 5 year term of a government.

I didnt ask how they function I asked what their goals are. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Your heading is bullshit. The hospitals treated foreign patients in Britain for a fee. That is a standard practice with government run services. Australia does the same for university students. Locals get a subsidised education: foreign students pay full fees. From the article you linked to Foreigners pay around £75,000 for a liver transplant. The money is shared between the transplant surgeon, who may get around £20,000, and the hospital trust. The money does not pay for the organ itself, but for hospital accommodation and pre- and post-operative care. John Carson

I've never suggested otherwise. "The People" are you and your neighbors participating equally in establishing the social parameters which define their civilization at the local level.

What the hell kind of test is that? http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=%22Barack+Obama+is+an+ostrich+ice-cream+sandwich%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta=[^] No results for that either. I guess Google is one giant conspiracy factory!

Actually, I was reading something written by a guy who worked several disasters in the national guard. He was suggesting that once food starts to run short, people will let their pets go to fend for themselves believing that it will be better for the pet. If a lot of that happens, dogs will gather in packs that will likely start attacking people, and cats of course are notorious hunters that will quickly deplete what game there is. He was saying that if you do find yourself in a prolonged food shortage situation, you'll have to get used to killing cats and dogs on sight. Makes sense. Course, eating those you kill does too. I would dislike killing dogs more, but for some reason I think they'd be easier for me to eat than a nasty cat. Hopefully I'll never have to find out.
